Escape Artist [JJBA Villains x reader]

Chapter 40

Diavolo had been walking around the tunnels with his small bodyguard, Doppio, who was making sure the area was clear, they soon found themselves in one of the big gardens, the mist surrounding everything, "This is odd... Doppio... Do you notice anything?" The said boy turned to look at his boss with a confused stare, "I'm not sure, we really can't see anything since there's mist everywhere." The boy replied Diavolo looked at him with a poker face, "I mean do you notice anything out of ordinary?" He asked, "I'm not sure, I haven't been here before." Doppio replied, Diavolo watched him for a moment before he chose a random direction and began to walk that way, "boss if I can ask, what's your plan with-" "she might be able to change the direction of a story, I hope, like Butterfly effect, her decisions can change how one's story would end." Doppio looked at his boss in awestruck gaze, "do you think she might be able to do that?" "I'm not sure, but I hope she is able to," Diavolo said, keeping his tired gaze.

"But how do you know all of this?" Doppio questioned his boss, "It's information I was given." Diavolo said, remembering the promises he was given as he was pulled out of the loop of pure hell, as soon as he would defeat the mistakes, he would grow, he would rule once again like a king.

Doppio only kept wondering how he would be able to spend his time with you after it was over, he feared his actions would have caused you to dislike him, he just wanted to be around you, he snapped out of his thoughts, right now he needed to protect his boss after all his boss' orders were extremely important.

The trio that had a Priest, a jockey, and a writer has been walking in the mist for long now, you watched Pucci, he was restless, perhaps the mention of Dio had something to do with it, or maybe the situation you three were currently in.

You could hear the statues moving all around, Diego had been complaining about the disgusting smell growing stronger, perhaps you guys were finally reaching something? "I swear, it smells like death in here," Diego whined, and sure enough you guys did stumble upon something, a chapel, Pucci seemed to look uncomfortable at the sight of it, "we aren't gonna go in are we?" He asked, "I'll say no, seems like a giant mistake," Diego answered, "it smells like pure death in there, who knows what's there!" He scoffed.

"We should try finding Doppio and Diavolo," you suggested, not wanting to go into the chapel either.

So it was decided, the journey continues, the sounds of multiple footsteps following after the three of you made you feel concerned, Pucci had multiple times used his stand to destroy some of them, while Diego had been talking about how the smell wasn't that bad anymore the further the three of you walked. "Hey, are you cold?" Diego asked with a grin that was extremely suspicious, "what happens if I say yes?" "I can give you my turtleneck," he answered with a smirk, "then it's a no." You told him not wanting to see him shirtless, the jockey let out a whine in return and told you how his heart was breaking, you didn't understand how dramatic this man could truly be.

Pucci was too busy keeping you safe from the statues to care about the jockey's foolish attempts with you.

Dio scoffed as he broke yet another statue, these things were no match for the likes of DIO, as his ego grew the more he broke the statues, he needed to find you so he could achieve his goals, he wanted to rule over the world, maybe he could rule over the entire existence meaning all the universes there was, he was power-hungry, but still, he wasn't exactly sure how he could be able to deal with Valentine.

The president used fancy language and ways to hide his true meanings, Dio knew that perhaps the curly-blonde would get rid of them like trash after he got his hands on you, Dio remembered how the president have taken great interest with you.

Dio on the other hand believed, you were nothing but a weapon, something he could use, but perhaps if the Speedwagon foundation's files were correct maybe the arrow that granted you the stand ability was truly celestial, after all, it was apparently made out of a 'meteor'.

But it didn't matter, after all, he would be on top of everyone else, he would be the number one. But still, something about you made him feel rather drawn to you, was it because of your possibility of being an answer to all of his problems?

Dio stopped as he noticed something in the distance, it wasn't something, it was someone. A grim expression took over Dio's face, as he began to make his way towards the person, the man looked like a gravedigger, was this the stand user? Once the man noticed the blonde approaching him, Dio knew he was right, time to get rid of this foolish idiot.

Doppio managed to get scared by the statues, Diavolo had kept his guard up the entire time, until they ran into the three of you, he seemed relieved, yet restless, there you were, so close yet so far, he couldn't just take you and drag you to the president, you were watched after by the priest and the foolish jockey, Diavolo felt jealous but hid it, Doppio, on the other hand, kept avoiding your gaze nervously.

"We need to get out of here and leave whatever is in this park behind." Pucci said while keeping his gaze on Diavolo, Diego put his arm around your shoulder as he watched Doppio, "then let's get going, there's a train station somewhere right?" Diavolo questioned, and the journey to the train station began, you turned your gaze back at the park, seeing the mist leave, you felt lighter too, you didn't have that awful sunken feeling within yourself, perhaps your stand had returned finally? You felt so, but you didn't want to test it, you needed to focus on something else now.

Dio watched the man coughing on the ground, the vampire had finally gotten his ability back, he of course didn't spare this fool's life, whoever decided to mess with Dio would die. He turned his gaze to the sky, seeing how the sun was begging to rise, he cursed himself for spending too much time in this foolish situation, where even were you? He wished to see you again, after all, you two seemed to have such a merry time together. 

After searching around for any transportations away from Portugal, you guys managed to find a train station, Diego made a disgusted face as soon as he saw the trains, he nudged you and said that whatever happens on trains was always suspicious, you felt like that was from a deep memory of his, but you weren't sure.

Doppio had become less shy around you but still kept himself closer to Diavolo, deciding which train you guys would take you ended up getting on the one going to 'Hendaye,' France.

But someone else also ended up getting on the same train with you guys, he fixed his tie as he checked the time on his watch, as the night would fall he would strike and take you, that was his grand plan, luck would side with him as soon as you would be with him, he thought as he sat down on the train seat, patience was the key.
